The objective of this project is to reuse existing built spaces, conserve the local rural landscape, reuse certain privileged places in the heart of the village and to mix private and professional uses.
The aim is also to give the preserved local buildings a new lease of life, helping to guarantee their conservation and maintenance. This approach also limits rural sprawl and finds an interest in the densification of village hearts.
The house is part of an agricultural building, in the heart of the village. Adapting to current urban requirements, the house finds its place under an existing equine fodder storage shed, still in operation.
Sustainable development approach of the project owner
Designed to be bioclimatic despite the context in which it is built, the house is constructed of a timber frame and straw insulation, and is inserted under an existing and preserved agricultural shed.
This double envelope makes it possible to preserve the existing rural landscape, to limit heat loss due to the prevailing winds and direct sunlight, and also to reduce the construction costs of the exterior cladding. The climatic protection of the existing shed allowed the construction site to be established in summer and winter, without months of interruption.
Architectural description
The building is passive and the spaces are compact.
On two levels this compact house was assembled in 12 months with two people mainly, by juxtaposing 15 similar modules in a repetitive way.
The materials used are biobased and respect the good health of users. The straw was harvested 3 kilometers from the site, by a local farmer using traditional methods.
The living rooms are arranged upstairs allowing hot air to be used in an optimum way. Conversely on the ground floor we find the sleeping and service areas.
If you had to do it again?
This achievement is a visual demonstration of the materials used, sustainable construction techniques and constitutes the source of essential knowledge for the architect, conductor of bioclimatic construction.

Reasons for participating in the competition(s)
Ce projet est résolument bas carbone :
- Dans le choix de réutiliser un bâtiment existant
- Par les matériaux avec l’ossature bois et la paille issue de cultures responsables situées à 3 km du chantier
- Avec la « légèreté » du chantier réalisé à partir de 15 modules préfabriqués montés principalement à deux personnes
- Sur le plan énergétique, grâce à la compacité du plan qui facilite le chauffage.
- Le choix de mettre les pièces nécessitant moins de chauffage en rez-de-chaussée pour optimiser la propension de la chaleur à « monter » dans les pièces à vivre
